The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences is pleased to
announce that it has signed a collaborative agreement with the Yangtze
Center of Mathematics at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China. The
current director is Professor Yingming Liu, a member of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences. Cooperation between the Yangtze Center and PIMS
will take place through exchanges of scholars and students as well as by
the organization of joint events.

Alejandro Adem, PIMS Director,
noted: "The mathematical community at Sichuan University has strengths
in several different areas of the mathematical sciences, including
very active research in geometry and topology. Thus I expect that this
agreement will lead to some veryinteresting collaborations.''

The
agreement with the Yangtze Center of Mathematics extends the network of
mathematical institutes in the Pacific Rim which actively collaborate
with PIMS, and colleagues at both institutions are looking forward to a
very productive relationship.
